Barbarella
The year is 40,000. After peaceful floating in zero-gravity, astronaut Barbarella lands on the frozen planet Lythion and sets out to find renowned scientist Durand Durand in the City of Night, Sogo, where a new sin is invented every hour. There, she encounters such objects as the Excessive Machine, a genuine sex organ on which an expert artist of the keyboard, in this case, Durand Durand himself, can drive a victim to death by pleasure, a lesbian queen who can make her fantasies take form in her Chamber of Dreams, and a group of ladies smoking a giant hookah which dispenses Essence of Man through a poor victim struggling in its glass globe. You can not help but be impressed by the special effects crew and the various ways that were found to tear off what minimal clothes our heroine seemed to possess.

Note : The 60s, man, they were certainly a time. And if you wanted to make a comic book-based sex comedy about a sex-crazed astronaut from the 41st century who gets naked across the galaxy, you certainly could! Especially if you were a perpetually drunk French director who happened to be married to Jane Fonda, who would be the star of the movie, and you could also get Rolling Stones super-groupie Anita Pallenberg to act in it, as well as Marcel Marceau and David Hemmings for some reason. There's not much of a story to speak of, and what there is, is pretty silly, but the film has some of the most lavish psychedelic set design known to man, late-60s oil in water optical effects, and, surprisingly, not much nudity at all, there's a handful of visible nipples in the whole movie, and the rest is sideboob and post-coital bliss.
Astronaut Barbarella gets tasked by the President of the Earth to find the scientist Durand Durand (yes, that's where the band name comes from), who's invented a superweapon and disappeared somewhere in the Tau Ceti system. Weapons, war, and conflict are long banished from the galaxy, so this worries the powers that be. Barbarella sets about passively letting things happen to her (a lot of it sex) on her way to the evil city of Sogo, where she confronts the Great Tyrant, comes into conflict with the Tyrant's concierge, and escapes execution by hundreds of tropical birds only to fall into the hands of the rebel leader Dildano. If you think this sounds infantile, it is, but, just go with it, man.
This is a quite good-looking remaster, though it is not a particularly new transfer, which shows off the pretty cinematography and the very nice, colorful, all-shag-carpet set design, as well as the knockout female leads. Too bad there are no commentary tracks or anything.
